Section 332 Wicked thieves from the treasury
Seeing this, my aunt was also a wise man, and asked, "What is strange about this silver?" ”
Uncle said: "Have you forgotten the batch of silver that the Taiping army sealed after entering the city?" The silver had been stolen a month earlier, no more, no less, exactly fifty taels. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this matter is full of turmoil in the city, and King Gan is sending people everywhere to arrest people who steal silver. So far, I don't know how many innocent people have been harmed. The number of ingots is written on this list, but if anyone catches stealing silver, he will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and those who knowingly fail to report and harbor thieves will be guilty of a felony for the whole family! I saw that the silver was not bad with the font on the list, and it was the silver that had been stolen from the treasury. As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and sooner or later this child will happen, and it will affect our family. No, it's better to suffer him than to affect us. I will take this money and go to the king's house and surrender myself, so as to spare my family from sin. ”
When the aunt saw her husband say this, her face was shocked, but she had no intention of stopping her husband.
The uncle took fifty taels of silver, got into a carriage, and went straight to the king's mansion to surrender.
The officials on duty at night in the palace were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly ordered fifty quick-eyed soldiers from the palace to come to the mansion to arrest Zheng Boduan.
This Zheng Bo was dreaming of yellow sorghum, vaguely hearing the shouting outside the window, and when he woke up, he suddenly felt that his hands, feet and neck were cold, and he knew that he was locked up when he touched it, and then he opened his eyes to see that the house was full of soldiers dressed as soldiers of the Ganwang Mansion.
The crowd didn't allow him to say anything, so he returned to the Ganwang Mansion, and the Hangzhou general under the command of the Ganwang held a public trial overnight.
The Hangzhou general ordered someone to pull Zheng Boduan, and said angrily: "What a thief, I saw that you looked like a scholar, but I didn't expect it to be so unbearable, come on, give me ten big boards first!" ”
Zheng Boduan hurriedly said: "If the adults want to use the punishment, they must first tell the little people what crime they have committed?" ”
General Hangzhou said: "A month ago, there were fifty ingots of snowflake silver missing from the treasury, and each ingot was fifty taels. Now that your uncle has turned himself in and taken out the fifty taels of silver, and now that everyone has obtained the stolen goods, what else do you have to quibble? Hmph, this official silver cover has not been moved, and it has disappeared, presumably you are also a demon! Slow down, get some black dog blood first! ”
When Zheng Boduan heard this, he shouted wrongly: "I'm not a demon!" I'm not a demon! Let me tell the difference! ”
This Hangzhou general is a fierce general under the command of King Gan, born since childhood, and is also a person who knows right from wrong, when he saw that the situation was different, he waved his hand to stop the action of his own soldiers, and asked in a deep voice: "Then tell me, where did this silver come from?" ”
Zheng Boduan told everything he had to say about his encounter with Zhang Niangzi, and he didn't even miss the details.
General Hangzhou frowned and said, "Who is this lady?" Where do you live? ”
Zheng Boduan explained them one by one.
The general of Hangzhou called his subordinate general Hong Fang, ordered a hundred royal soldiers, and escorted Zheng Boduan to arrest the lady.
That Hong Fang led the team to that place to take a look, and gasped! Where is it clearly a wealthy house? But it is ruined and ruined, and garbage is all over the ground.
When I asked the nearby residents, I found out that there was no Zhang Niangzi living here at all. About 10 years ago, a local staff member lived in this house, and later the whole family died of an inexplicable illness. Later, when someone saw a ghost coming out to buy something in broad daylight, no one dared to live here.
This Hongfang led the crowd into the ruined house, only to see that it was deserted inside, and a strange wind blew, rolling up an inexplicable fishy smell. Everyone was also a soldier who came from the battlefield, and they were taken aback when they saw this, and pulled out their waist knives to protect Hong Fang's side.
When Zheng Bo saw it, he was already so shocked that he stayed aside like a log.
One of the pro-soldiers was bold, nicknamed Shi Dad, and shouted: "Come with Lao Tzu!" He shouted and rushed into the house. The armies hurriedly followed.
When I entered the house, I saw that there was all the furniture inside, and when I came to the stairs, Shi Danda rushed to the stairs at the instigation of everyone, only to see that the dust on the stairs was four or five inches thick, and it was obviously abandoned for a long time.
When I came to the door, I opened the door and looked, only to see a certain tent hanging on the bed, and there was a little lady sitting in it, which looked strange against the background of the torch.
Everyone remembered the rumors of the haunting here, and they all hesitated for a while.
Na Shi boldly shouted: "That little lady! I am waiting for the order of King Gan to summon you to testify with Zheng Boduantang. ”
The lady sat there motionless, and did not answer.
The stone was bold, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he picked up a short stick and threw it at the tent.
I only heard a "clang" sound, like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, which stunned everyone. When I got up to look, where was the figure of a little lady on the bed, it was clearly a pile of bright silver!
As soon as everyone said it, together with Zheng Boduan's ingots, it was exactly fifty ingots, and the font size was right.
So, Hong Yi ordered someone to carry the silver, and when he came to the Ganwang Mansion, he told the Hangzhou General the whole story.
The Hangzhou general said: "It's okay! This must be the work of a monster, and it has nothing to do with the neighbors. Then Zheng Boduan was put in prison and sent to the state camp to be punished as a coolie, and he was released after a full day.
Seeing this, the uncle suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and gave Zheng Boduan all the fifty taels of silver rewarded by the Ganwang Mansion to Zheng Boduan.
Zheng Boduan sneered in his heart, but he didn't shirk it, and accepted it at the moment.
When he came to Chuzhou, Zheng Bo took some money up and down, but he was also exempted from labor, and he walked around when he had nothing to do on weekdays. One day, I was wandering in the camp gate and was depressed, and I saw a sedan chair from afar, and a maid walking on the side, so I stepped forward and asked: "Ask the eldest brother, is this the city camp in Chuzhou?" ”
The handyman who guarded the door saw that the maid was well-behaved and noblely dressed, and secretly wondered if she was a rich and noble family? He nodded and said, "Exactly, why did the girl come?" ”
The maid said, "Find someone." ”
The handyman said, "Who?" ”
The maid said: "Zheng Boduan, an official from Hangzhou Mansion. ”
The miscellaneous servant also got a lot of benefits from Zheng Boduan on weekdays, where would he not know, and said with a smile: "I see, Zheng Guanren is in the camp." At that moment, he shouted inside: "Zheng Guanren, someone is looking for you!" Then he said to the maid, "You talk, I'll go to the side and smoke a cigarette." ”
Zheng Boduan came to the gate of the camp when he heard the sound, it's good not to look at it, but he is not angry when he sees it! Regardless of whether the other party was a ghost or a demon, he stepped forward and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Wrongdoer! Last time, you stole the official silver, how much suffering did I suffer? What are you doing here now? ”
Zhang Niangzi said aggrievedly: "Don't blame me, officials. I'm here to explain this to you. There are a lot of people here, how about we go in and say? ”
Zheng Boduan snorted coldly: "I am a human, you are a ghost, you ...... You are not allowed to come in! "Keeping the door open just won't let them in.
Zhang Niangzi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "How dare the slave family deceive the officials, we are both living people, where are the ghosts?" In vain, you are also a scholar, don't you hear Confucius said: Zi is silent and strange and confused? Alas, the theft of silver was the work of my brother, the last husband. Don't hide from the officials, although my late husband was a member of the court, he was also reckless, and he made more heroes and heroes on weekdays. Seeing that I was a woman, I was afraid that my life would be unsustainable, so I stole the official silver of the treasury. also blamed the slave family for not thinking much about it at the time, so they harmed the officials.
